2004 Marion Drysdale Contest Results

2004 Marion Drysdale Theme

The theme of the 2004 Marion Drysdale Awards is "Appreciating One's Freedom."

freedom ('fre'dem) n 

  1. personal liberty, as from slavery, bondage, serfdom, etc. 
  2. liberation or deliverance, as from confinement or bondage. 
  3. the quality or state of being free, esp. to enjoy political and civil liberties.

This year's Marion Drysdale Award theme asks students to reflect on the role freedom plays in their lives. We hear the word freedom used a lot in our world lately- especially by politicians and the media. But what, after all, is real freedom? What does it truly mean to be free? In what different ways can a person be free? What role does freedom play in your life? And why do we place such importance on the idea of freedom?
